What has ten fingers, autism, synesthesia, a crush on Enya, lots of Mario games, thousands of regrets, a feeling of worry about being judged for almost everything, and a tendency to write blurbs that become outdated quickly?

Me!

...You're not laughing. Have you heard this one already?

Anyway, in my journal, at first almost all of my entries were public, but lately I've been making more and more of my entries friends-only, usually if they're about things I worry (MAYBE too much) about. I never really intended for it to turn out that way, hence why I didn't put up any sort of "this journal is semi-friends-only" notice until just now (July 2015).

I wasn't really that fascinated with weird dreams until I read some that people posted on the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. Some of them were pretty funny. One dream posted there, in which the guy that had the dream was playing either Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker or Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (I forget which), and then it turned into Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, and then he started a Pokémon battle with one of the NPCs and selected Pokémon to use for the battle by putting stuffed toy Pokémon on a table in his room, apparently inspired me to have a similar dream that I posted to the forum and then eventually to _dreams_. For a while, I had a lot of weird dreams after that, but sadly, not only have I not had any lately, only pathvain_aelien comments on most of them nowadays. At least there are three phrases I will continue to ponder: "author cancelled", "no education for singer", and "frozen pets".

Summer

Ah, summer. The time of year when Mom nags slightly less when I stay on my computer most of the day. The time of year when I don't have to worry about being grounded for not doing good on a test. The time of year when snow cone stands are open. Plus, my birthday is in the summer. And, as an added bonus, it lasts longer than Christmas break! :)

Mario

I am a HUGE Mario fan. I don't remember when I started playing Mario games, but it must have been an early age because I think I managed to beat Super Mario World at age 4, even though I kept playing it anyway. To this date, I still play it, albeit on an emulator and while using a ROM corruptor to make weird levels and get the emulator to call me a chin rag.

Here are all the Mario games I have played to date (those I could find in the Chronicle in SSBB or knew what games came before and after it anyway, since I wanted to sort them by release date):

I first started listening to Enya when pathvain_aelien was taking me home from school or something and we listened to Watermark in the car. I particularly liked the song Orinoco Flow. However, it wasn't until I looked for pictures of Enya for putting her in the pre-Smackjeevzoic version of PrtSc Land that I started becoming as much of an Enya fan as I am today, because that's when I first noticed how pretty she is. (Well, she is!) I currently have all eight of the "main" Enya albums: The Celts, Watermark, Shepherd Moons, The Memory of Trees, Paint the Sky with Stars, A Day Without Rain, Amarantine, and And Winter Came. I really wish she'd do a concert though...

I think I particularly like things that have to do with both Mario and Enya. Remember Waenya? And most of my weird dreams?

Potential

Lots of people I know say I am so good with programming that I could work at Microsoft someday. Mom even once said that I could be best friends with Bill Gates and we could play Super Smash Bros. Brawl together. I don't see how that could happen since Nintendo and Microsoft are rival video game companies, but what the sail.

(Explanation to anyone besides us who happens to revisit this entry even later than we did: Some drama on LJ that happened much later made it seem not only plausible, but likely, that a lot of my old entries and comments - including this one - might make people, even my LJ friends, hate me, so I linked to all of the posts that I was worried about.)

You said in the original comments:

Ha why would you want to be best friends with Gates?

I don't think he is a loser, I think he is a scary tyrant. Didn't you see that episode of the Simpsons?
